chexfan, that did look cool, I really like outdoor venues. But how far is that from Seattle? about 3 hours? That would be a long drive after a show or is there lodging around there?</font>
There is little to no lodging around the Gorge and it is 2.5-3 hours from Seattle. Makes for a long drive after a 7 hour festival

but worth it because of the views. Having seen a couple of shows there and seen many more at Red Rocks, I would have to vote Red Rocks as the better venue. Don't get me wrong, the Gorge is a close second, but nothing can beat a good band on the rocks in the summer.....
